Got a couple

[KSQ2]

These are in our food plot and the deer are nailing both, please tell me the first is chicory.
Sorry the pic is blurry, had my sunglasses on and couldn’t see too well.

This one is growing down low close to the ground, deer are hammering it too

The first one is chicory. Can't see the second well enough to say for certain.

I had no idea chicory is so resilient! Wow

Chicory doesn't get the credit it deserves. It retains its palatability regardless of how big it grows. They even eat the flowers.

They love the flowers on chicory, and it really shines during the dry heat of summer. Great stuff!

I really like it too just can't spray with grass herbicide

I was told it would survive clethodim, is that not true?

 

[catscratch]

Chicory survives cleth.

I looked again at that other plant and believe it is common purslane. That makes sense for two reasons. First, it grows well in a drought. Second, deer like it pretty well.

I can just see the second one clear enough to not be sure that it isn't purslane.

Next time I’m over, I’ll try to get a better pic fellas.

Very nice use of the double negative George!

Now I think that's one of the sweet clovers (probably white sweet clover).

Look at this: White Sweet Clover, Melilotus alba, Yellow Sweet Clover, Melilotus officinalis (L.) Lam. (friendsofthewildflowergarden.org)

Interesting, I looked at the article you sent. You might have it. I will say, according to the pictures, the stalk looks a little more like yellow, with the ridges you can see in the picture above, but the leaves look more like white. Regardless, the deer are nailing it, and keeping most of it short to the ground. Thanks!
